I started the Kerberos.NET project with a simple intention: be able to securely parse Kerberos tickets for user authentication without requiring an Active Directory infrastructure. This had been relatively successful so far, but one major milestone that I hadn’t hit yet was making sure it worked with .NET Core. It now works with .NET Core. Porting a Project There is no automated way to port a project to .NET Core. This is because it’s a fundamentally different way of doing things in .NET and things are bound to break (I’m sure that’s not actually the reason). There is documentation available,…

In Part 1 I introduced a basic usage of SignalR and talked about the goals we were trying to accomplish with the library. In the next few posts I’m going to show how we can build a real-time user notification and session management system for a web application. In this post I’ll show how we can implement a solution that accomplishes our goals. Before diving back into SignalR it’s important to have a quick rundown of concepts for session management. If we think about how sessions work for a user in most applications it’s usually conceptually simple. A session is…

As more and more applications and services are becoming always on and accessible from a wide range of devices it’s important that we are able to securely manage sessions for users across all of these systems. Imagine that you have a web application that a user tends to stay logged into all day. Over time the application produces notifications for the user and those notifications should be shown fairly immediately. In this post I’m going to talk about a very important notification – when the user’s account has logged into another device while still logged into their existing session. If…
